Badinba (8PM)

Inspired by folkloric rhythms of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, Badinba creates modern music that is firmly rooted in tradition. Co-founders Adam Hinz and Ian LeBlanc met in 2007 while studying with percussion legend John Amira. They were later joined by Chris Mariner, a guitarist with extensive experience in NYC's jazz and experimental-music scenes, and bass player Evan Ubiera, whose multi-instrumental expertise spans the musical spectrum from Dominican gagá to heavy metal to Afrobeat. Badinba’s sound is completed by Mónica Ortiz Rossi, who infuses modern Latin soul vocals with the sounds of her Dominican-American upbringing.

The traditional sound of the djembe along the classical sound of the violin. Two worlds emerging and creating a new place of harmony; StringsNskins. The band was originally founded in 2011 by Luisa Bastidas, a violinist hailing from Colombia and Okai Musik a drummer and vocalist of Haitian descent. The duet started as a mix of their two traditional of native rhythms and folklore. In 2013 the duet grew into a five-piece band, honing a rich sound that could keep the people grooving and dancing on their feet and spreading the rare beautiful sounds of Colombia, Haiti, and rhythms from the African diaspora to the world. StringsNskins has performed at various venues in the city such as, the Legendary Blue Note, Brooklyn Bowl, Rockwood Music Hall,Piano’s, and Nublu.
